Ralph Bakshi's the Lord of the Rings

[Oddwen]

is it only me

that finds

that the 1978 film

has a charm

which is more

connected

with the actual books?

While I can't answer about the herbal enhancements, I do agree that Bakshi's world is much closer to my original vision of the books. Even pantsless Viking Boromir. I'm currently re-reading the trilogy after a long long absence, and am happy to find that the more popular imaginings are fading from my memory.
